Definitely an issue for me. I'd like to see some TRD kneepads!

I don't like how sport mode will still cut on VSC while you're in the middle of a fantastic skid, ending it early and making you slow to come out of it. I need to learn more about the car with trac off now.

Wow...for the greatest thing since sliced bread, this car has given us 43 pages of hate. :P

Add me to the list of people who hate the poor center console design, from HVAC controls back to the cup "holders". Overall terrible, and it doesn't need to be...

Wiper intermittent setting are too few.
The carpet and matts are VERY thin and cheap.
Needs heated mirrors.
Thin paint but so are most cars. Nicks easily.
Electric Seats please! Heated would be nice too.
I miss having a sun roof but the shape wouldn't allow for it so Toyota gets a pass.

Very little bad things to say about it, especially for the price.

I do the same as well and even scuffed the door panel and speakers a few times too. I'm getting the hang a bit more on getting in, but getting out when in a parking lot with a car next to you is my issue.

The thin carpets and matts are also lighter weight..
Electric seats and sunroof are extra weight/cost..
Not having them are good things.. Less is more in a sports
Car when it comes to gadgets and crap... Kudos to Toyota for
Making an affordable sports car for purists...

The BRZ has both heated mirrors and seats.

This area on the car is a train wreck to my eye, and it's one that can't be fixed (easily).

Why this mess of lines.. none of which continue through to the door? It's like the designers went out of their way to break the flow.

I swapped from my BRZ to FR-S side vents so at least it draws the eye less. But still you can look at this spot and see how they didn't quite pull off a masterpiece.

Only in the Limited. Can't tell you how disappointed I was that the Premium does not have them as an option (..at least the heated seats, although I don't think it has heated mirrors either).

Phew, doesn't bug me at all - but we're allowed to be different...
